Description

The manufacture method of electrochemical cell
The application is that application number is 200480027573.8, the applying date is 2004.09.21, denomination of invention is divided an application for the application for a patent for invention of " electrochemical cell ".
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of electrochemical cell, it has negative electrode (negative electrode), the electrolyte that comprises conducting salt and positive electrode (anode).The present invention especially refers to alkali metal battery, and wherein active material is an alkali metal, and to battery charge the time, described alkali metal is stored in the negative electrode and/or on the negative electrode.But active material also can be second group a metal of other metals, especially alkaline-earth metal or periodic system.Electrolytical conducting salt is made up of metal cation that forms active material and the anion that matches.In the situation of alkali metal battery, alkali-metal four aluminum halide hydrochlorates (LiAlCl for example 4) preferably be used as conducting salt.
Background technology
For example following main reference alkali metal battery, especially lithium battery.Yet this should not be understood that it is restriction to general applicability of the present invention.
Be typically a kind ofly by a plurality of structure of forming of layer of piling up for this battery, described layer area size is than big many of its thickness.They have the area size of same size, and are arranged by stacked on top ground in the interlayer mode in battery.Have the prismatic battery of the shell that is generally rectangular-shaped and straight layer and within it each layer of portion for cylindrical plate around cylindrical battery be common.
Common battery has at least three layers, also is negative electrode, positive electrode and spacer, and it is two electrodes separately on electric and mechanically.This spacer must solve a following difficult problem:
-it should guarantee that the electricity of positive electrode and negative electrode separates, under the situation that electricity separates, battery can not move.
-it should help to guarantee the even distribution of liquid electrolyte between electrode.
-it should guarantee the mechanical separation of anode chamber and cathode chamber, but not only should guarantee needed electrolyte conveying on the other hand but also should guarantee gas delivery between two seed cells of battery.
-it should prevent the short circuit between the electrode reliably.At this,, then produce specific question if reactive metal is deposited to the surface of electrode to battery charge the time.
If active material especially is not to be deposited as the smooth layer with flat surfaces after a plurality of chargings and discharge cycles, but is deposited with the part linear shape, the problems referred to above are especially serious so.Under alkali metal battery, especially lithium battery situation, to battery charge the time, form the line of the not bifurcated with (for the particular battery with particular electrolyte) basic identical diameter especially, the mixed and disorderly growth of described line is agglomerating, and is known as palpus.Must formation owing to because self discharge reaction and on the reactive activity metal surface, forming and not exclusively uniformly thin cover layer.Therefore, the reactive metal of electrolytic deposition is preferably grown on thinner position and is passed cover layer, and distinguishes online terminal continued growth then.
Because form this wire shape, spacer is mechanically seriously stressed.On the other hand, suitably the selection of material requires restriction by other:
-spacer material must be inertia in battery;
-it must be thin as far as possible, so that can realize high-energy-density;
-in addition, the performance data of battery and its useful life are determined jointly by the permeability of spacer for electrolytic ion in addition;
The cost of-spacer must bear.
The spacer that ideally works is a particular importance in lithium ion battery and lithium polymer battery.If the lithium metal is deposited on the surface of negative electrode there, the high response metal can contact with positive electrode in no instance so, because can be caused being called as the uncontrolled reaction result of " thermal runaway " immediately by the caused short circuit of this contact.The organic electrolyte of this battery will burn or even blast uncontrollably.Because these risks are general only with the described battery types of quite little scale manufacturing.In addition, taking that add, primary is the safety measure of electronics.
In described battery types, negative electrode is constituted as usually so-called " insertion electrode ".This notion represents that generally promptly described electrode portion so within it comprises reactive metal with bottom electrode, makes to exchange with electrolyte with regard to preparing to battery charge and discharge the time.In lithium ion battery and lithium polymer battery, negative electrode is based on the insertion electrode of graphite, portion within it, and to battery charge the time, the metal ion of conducting salt is absorbed.If possible, should so move battery, the feasible running status of avoiding reactive metal on electrode surface, to deposit.But this only can utilize actually and expend huge electronics measure and realize, avoids overcharging of battery reliably and with the current strength charging of quite high (surpassing the limiting value that is applicable to each battery) by described electronics measure.This electronic system must clock like precision, and (open circuit voltage for example is 4.2V ± 0.01V) and extremely reliable (per 100,000,000 occur a mistake at most).Increased cost greatly by this measure.Yet, still have certain risk.
Summary of the invention
In view of the above, task of the present invention is, but provide a kind of electrochemical cell of recharge, especially alkali metal battery and primary be lithium battery, with the least possible high as far as possible safety standard of realization that expends, wherein the advantageous feature of each battery types (under the lithium battery situation especially its unsurpassed high-energy-density) should keep fully or even should further be improved by it.
According to the of the present invention first main aspect, this task is by having negative electrode, comprising the electrolyte of conducting salt and the electrochemical cell of positive electrode solves, and wherein electrolyte is with SO 2Be the basis, and the medial compartment between positive electrode and negative electrode constituted so, make when to battery charge, the active material that is deposited on the negative electrode may contact with positive electrode like this, and the short-circuit reaction of local restricted system consequently takes place in its surface.
In scope of the present invention, be determined by experiment, contact with positive electrode if be deposited on the lip-deep reactive metal of negative electrode, so at its electrolyte based on SO 2Battery in, can observe complete undesirable short circuit characteristic.If make by adequate measures this short circuit local restricted system then neither to cause " thermal runaway " in the reaction that this occurred, do not make yet reactive metal a part of passivation and reduce the irreversible reaction of battery charge capacity thus.Or rather, determine, will never negatively influence the characteristic of battery by the short circuit of this local restricted system and relevant with it reaction according to experiment.Therefore, battery of the present invention is worked under the situation of spacer not having.Replace, this battery is so constituted, and makes the active material that on purpose allows to be deposited on negative electrode to battery charge the time contact partly with positive electrode.This expression deviates from basically in common so far battery structure.
As described, this observation is applicable to that its electrolyte is based on SO 2Battery.Electrolyte is called as and " is based on SO 2", described electrolyte not only comprises SO with minimum concentration as additives 2, and moving of the ion of wherein that comprised in electrolyte and conducting salt that cause charge transport passed through SO at least in part 2Guarantee.To this, other information can draw from WO 00/79631 and the document of wherein being quoted.
According to the present invention based on experiment, partial short-circuit and relevant with it electrolyte variable conductance heat activation metal and SO 2The formation of compound, under the situation of lithium battery, caused hydrosulfurous acid lithium (Li 2S 2O 4) formation.Although this compound is difficult to dissolving, there are not a kind of initial product that in reaction, is consumed (Li and SO 2) can from battery functi on, be retracted constantly, because the formation of dithionite and decomposition reaction oppose, this decomposition reaction must be enough to realize the balance favourable to battery functi on soon.To this, can from WO 00/79631, know more detailed description.
In addition, in the zone of partial short-circuit, the reaction with positive electrode may take place.This is particularly useful for following battery, and in described battery, positive electrode comprises metal oxide, especially comprises the oxide that atomic number is 22 to 28 transition metal.This oxide is preferably as the intercalation compound of one of reactive metal, described transition metal and oxygen.In described metal, especially preferred is cobalt, nickel, iron.Comprise the binary of two kinds or three kinds different transition metal and the intercalation compound of ternary metal oxide especially also has practical significance with lattice structure.With regard to particularly preferred this electrode material in the present invention, also can replenish with reference to WO 00/79631 and with reference to the United States Patent (USP) of being quoted there 4,567,031.According to inventor's understanding, for example when the positive electrode that uses based on cobalt oxide, owing to following reaction takes place partial short-circuit:
CoO 2+Li→LiCoO 2
This reaction is corresponding to the intercalation of reactive metal to battery discharge the time.
When two kinds of running statuses, lithium metal at first so is deposited on the negative electrode, feasible if there is no spacer, so because when charging or when overcharging with extra high current strength, if the quantity of electric charge of being carried when also promptly charging surpasses the capacity of negative electrode, lithium metal just may contact with positive electrode.In these running statuses, not only there is not harm corresponding to the short-circuit reaction of battery discharge, and also or even it is favourable.Therefore, partial short-circuit even play a part favourablely and can be called as " favourable short circuit ".
In a word, in the experimental test of the present invention, determined, utilized the battery of no spacer, be aspect fail safe, or all obtaining extraordinary result aspect the battery data (cyclical stability, capacity or the like).
In addition, obtain following advantage:
-because there is not the spacer that has very thin hole and be easy to stop up pore, so the internal resistance of battery is reduced.
-because the risk relevant with the spacer damage in the conventional batteries do not exist, so fail safe is enhanced basically.
-because spacer material commonly used shows as very big cost factor, so cost is lowered.
The weight and volume of-battery is reduced, therefore the energy density and the power density that can obtain to improve.
-because depositing relevant risk with reactive metal on battery surface is eliminated, so thereby battery can and be recharged apace with very high current strength.
-can use the common production equipment that for example is used for lithium ion battery.
Be necessary to guarantee by adequate measures, short circuit be local restricted system by the relevant reaction of the caused heating of short circuit.
In order to realize this target, be provided preferably with the porous separator, it so is arranged and constitutes, make when the time to battery charge, the active material that is deposited on the negative electrode can grow pass separator hole till the surface of positive electrode.The porous separator preferably directly contacts with positive electrode, and wherein both surfaces contact all sidedly.
The hole of separator must must be enough to it greatly and allow active material undesirably to grow into the surface of positive electrode.Simultaneously, structure and layout with respect to positive electrode must so be designed, make that be restricted on the local part scope of the contact between active material and the positive electrode at electrode surface, therefore partial short-circuit only takes place, and this partial short-circuit does not cause the reaction of other lithiums (its be arranged in the porous separator or on other parts at the interface of itself and negative electrode).If partial short-circuit will trigger other short circuits, then must reckon with the uncontrolled dissipation of lithium, also be " thermal runaway " because violent temperature rises.
Must determine porous insulation layer structure suitable in single situation individually at each battery structure.At this, what consider is that battery ground of battery of diameter of formed palpus has nothing in common with each other when lithium deposits.When being compared, the battery with different electrolyte work shown this point especially clearly.With using based on SO 2Electrolyte the time compare, described must have bigger diameter usually when using organic bath.Therefore, possible fully is in first battery structure, have the growth that specific porous layer prevents palpus, and therefore serve as spacer, and in another battery, identical layer to be infiltrated by the active material that is deposited.
For this reason, in fact can not provide numerical value or other quantitative explanations about the aperture of suitable separator.In addition, because pore-size distribution is significant, so under present case, can not use frequently-used data to characterize suitable layer material such as the manufacturer of the porous layer material of " average pore size " and " maximum diameter of hole ".For example, may be suitable yet the superfine fine pore with high percentage also has the layer of the thick hole of sufficient amount, wherein active material can be grown and be passed this thick hole.Yet, as following will further describing, can no problem ground detect the suitability of the layer material that is used to satisfy function described here according to test.
The porous separator for example can be constituted as the self-supporting film, utilize the porous composite construction of being made up of particle, fiber or microtubule section of adhesive, perhaps also can be constituted as loose charging.If use layer fully well, make electrolyte infiltrate this layer easily, then under any circumstance all be favourable.Preferably, the porous separator comprises the pore structure material of particle shape, fibrous or tubulose, and it especially can be formed by oxide, carbide or chemically stable silicate.The terpolymer of being made up of tetrafluoroethene, hexafluoropropylene and vinylidene fluoride is particularly suitable as adhesive.
The porous separator is unnecessary be can with other functional layers of battery layer of separating of distinguishing.This is particularly useful for the preferred form of implementation of the present invention, in this form of implementation, negative electrode for example comprises the planar substrate and the nonconducting sedimentary deposit that links to each other with this substrate with the conduction electron of thin plate, foam or the form of fabric that is made of metal, this sedimentary deposit is so constituted and is arranged, the active material that makes on substrate surface to be deposited immerses in its hole, and continues there to be deposited.This structure basis WO 02/09213 of institute's reference in this respect is known.Yet, compare with described battery structure there, according to the present invention, between sedimentary deposit and positive electrode, do not exist the impervious barrier layer of active material.The favourable porous separator of localization to the short circuit that occurred inevitably owing to lack the barrier layer can be (can not divide) whole part of sedimentary deposit, perhaps can form by the layer that separates, the layer of this separation and should and be to combine all sidedly with the seamless unoccupied place of sedimentary deposit between sedimentary deposit and positive electrode.
Usually, the present invention is proved to be particularly advantageous in this battery structure, and wherein negative electrode so is configured in this battery structure, makes that the positive metal ion of conducting salt is absorbed into its inside to battery charge the time.In this structure, when battery was charged normal, the deposition of reactive metal on electrode surface at first do not take place, but the storage of the reactive metal when in the inside that is the structure of negative electrode part charging process taking place.The battery types that these conditions were suitable for is commonly called " insertion electrode " here.The previous constructions of the sedimentary deposit that has the planar substrate of conduction electron and be attached thereto also can be counted as the insertion electrode on the common meaning, and wherein active material is absorbed in the hole of described sedimentary deposit when charging.
According to another flexible program, positive metal ion is absorbed into the inside of conductive electrode material of the part that is negative electrode.The important example of this conductive electrode material is as the carbon-containing electrode that also is used to lithium ion battery, especially graphite electrode.At this, when charging, the storage of lithium is not by the deposition in the porous cavity but is undertaken by the intercalation in the lattice structure of conductive electrode material.Except above-mentioned graphite electrode, based on Li 4Ti 5O 12Lithium intercalation electrode or alloy electrode can be used as the kind electrode examples of material.
In this battery structure, definitely be necessary to exist the porous separator of separation, thereby so that prevent from directly to electrically contact and prevent short circuit between negative electrode and the positive electrode (also being its electrode substance that conducts electricity respectively).Also to further describe this design with reference to the accompanying drawings below.
The second main aspect relates to the manufacture method that is used for electrochemical cell, the purifying step that especially takes place in this method inside, wherein, and by removing the OH of chemical combination on electrode -Ion comes at its function optimization battery electrode.This method is particularly useful for making according to the described battery in the of the present invention first main aspect, but also has independently meaning.
According to the second main aspect, remove OH from electrode -Ion wherein makes to comprise and OH -First cleanser that purifies composition of ionic reaction so contacts with electrode, makes by coming to remove the OH of institute's chemical combination thereon from electrode surface with first reaction that purifies composition -Ion, and get on except that the part of cleanser or may disturb the product of battery functi on from electrode.
For non-aqueous battery, also promptly especially utilize based on SO 2The function of battery of electrolyte work extremely important be that the residual water that exists in electrode structure (not only refers to molecular water but also refers to H +Ion and OH -Ion) is removed fully.This is a difficult problem when using prior described insertion electrode especially.
Determine that in the scope of the invention existence of the water of chemical combination may cause the passivation of electrode, makes electrode process to carry out with delaying.Under the situation of inserting electrode, especially (for example metal oxide intercalation compound of known above-mentioned other types from WO 00/79631) alkali metal intercalation electrode, this relates to alkali-metal shifting out or the insertion when discharge to battery charge the time.Passivation causes the increase of the internal resistance of cell.
Discovery according to the inventor, passivation can owing to, the reaction of the surface molecular of electrode and water (for example come from there was dampness in the air) causes tectal formation, and this cover layer comprises the hydroxide of reactive metal, also promptly comprises the compound of AOH type under the situation of alkali metal A.Even the water of trace all can cause the tectal formation of hydroxide.According to inventor's understanding, when making electrode, just almost can not avoid tectal formation, the active material of wherein said electrode is with metal oxide intercalation compound, especially LiCoO 2For the basis.This not only relates to the outer surface of electrode, and (under the common situation of porous electrode material) also relates to (in hole) inner surface.The passivation of electrode can be by eliminating described purification composition and OH with the reaction that purifies composition -Ionic reaction and be called as first here and purify composition.Under situation about being without loss of generality, this first purification composition is also referred to as activating component hereinafter.
The theme of the present invention's second major part also is to insert electrode, especially its surface not have OH basically -The intercalation electrode of ion.Preferably, electrode does not have H basically yet +Ion.The electrochemical cell that comprises kind electrode also is a theme of the present invention.At this, " do not have OH basically -Ion or H +Ion " can be understood as: electrode passivation relevant with the existence of ion or caused capacity loss are not to exist with degree like this so that influence electrode actual functional capability in the battery.As following also will be in greater detail, passivation causes that the internal resistance of cell constantly increases when charging and discharge cycles.Equally as following also will be in greater detail, relevant therewith electrode characteristic for example can be investigated by means of cyclic voltammogram.Preferably, the active material surface does not have hydroxyl ion and is cleaned into by means of first by preceding method and assigns to realize.
Determined that in the scope of the invention insertion electrode of type discussed herein has the content of water of chemical combination of the 10000ppm order of magnitude (also promptly with respect to electrochemical activity electrode material, especially LiCoO 2Be the H of 1% percentage by weight 2O).The electrode of optimization of the present invention have water content be up to 5000ppm, preferably be up to 1000ppm, especially preferably be up to 100ppm and extremely preferably be up to 10ppm.
The Lewis acid of no proton has been proved to be the first especially suitable purification composition.This notion refer on the meaning of the definition that G.N.Lewis provides, have acidity (that is to say electron acceptor), but do not comprise H +The material of ion.The preferred example of Lewis acid is AlF 3, BF 3, CO 2, CS 2And GaCl 3Usually can test the suitability of Lewis acid according to experiment for the object of the invention.
The preliminary election of suitable Lewis acid can be carried out based on its intensity, and its intensity again can be from forming sour atom (at AlF 3Situation under for example be Al and F) the difference of electronegativity value estimate.This difference is big more, and Lewis acid is strong more.
Cleanser is liquid normally, and it comprises this first composition in appropriate solvent.As solvent, aprotic liquid, for example carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4) especially be fit to.The necessary no water-based of solvent can be for example by means of molecular sieve, especially realize based on metallic aluminium silicate with big surface.In principle, especially based on supercritical CO 2Gas or supercritical liq also can be used as solvent.Purify composition self even also can be with liquid (supercritical CO for example 2) or gas (CS for example 2) exist.In these cases, cleanser needn't comprise additional solvent certainly.
The concentration of activating component should be high as far as possible in cleanser, wherein under the situation of solution, draws the upper limit from the solubility of activating component.Usually, saturated solution is preferred.But activation also is possible in principle when pettiness concentration.Under single situation, suitable concentration must be determined with the mode of experiment in conjunction with the duration of purified treatment, and also depend on employed Lewis acid certainly.
Cleanser must satisfy following condition in practice:
-as long as apply this method like this, make at least a portion cleanser when making battery, be retained in and insert in the electrode that so thus, cleanser must be harmless to battery functi on.Harmful part must be able to be removed easily and fully.
-cleanser must be compatible with electrode material.Especially do not allow to cause the reaction of disturbing its function.
According to preferred form of implementation, in manufacture method, second purifies composition is used to optimize the insertion electrode, this second purification composition and H +Ionic reaction, and so contacting with inserting electrode in cleanser makes the H of in described electrode institute's chemical combination +Ion is by dissolving from the inside of electrode with second reaction that purifies composition.Determined within the scope of the invention, inserted electrode, especially the intercalation characteristic of electrode of the above-mentioned type is also because H +Ion (proton) chemical combination is to electrode material and undermined.This proton and the alkali metal ion exchange of inserting electrode reduce its absorbability to reactive metal (especially alkali metal) thus, thereby and reduce battery capacity.By means of the second purification composition, proton is separated out from insert electrode.Thereby improved its absorptive capacity thus and improved the electric memory capacity of battery.
Especially salt is suitable as second and purifies composition, and described salt carries out ion-exchange reactions with the proton of institute's chemical combination in inserting electrode.Suitable examples is halide, the especially fluoride of the metal of alkali metal, alkaline-earth metal or periodic system the 3rd main group.Under situation about being without loss of generality, " purification salt " hereinafter also is used to second and purifies composition.
Purify compositions and its with regard to the application in the manufacture method with regard to two kinds, different flexible programs is possible.For example when making electrode substance, just can be being incorporated in this electrode substance to the small part amount of purification salt, thus and be incorporated in the electrode.Also can use the method that wherein directly first the and/or second purification composition is not incorporated in the cleanser.Or rather, also there is the possibility that forms these compositions by means of suitable pre-reaction on the spot certainly.Salt, anion PF especially 6 -, AsF 6 -, BF 4 -And AlF 4 -Salt be exemplary, described salt can form purification salt by division halide, preferred fluorinated thing.Organic salt also goes for forming the initial product that purifies salt on the spot as being used for.
According to the advantageous modification of this manufacture method, in two independent step, divide two stage ground to carry out OH -And H +Independently (preferably also being different) solvent is wherein used in the removal of ion respectively.
Especially, in the phase I, the insertion electrode is contacted with cleanser, described cleanser contains Lewis acid, for example CCl that has or not proton in volatile aprotic solvent 4This cleanser is worked always, up to OH -Ion is till electrode is transferred to the cleanser.Remove this cleanser then.
In second stage, electrode is contacted with second cleanser that comprises the second purification composition.Proton being transferred to from electrode after necessary reaction finishes the cleanser, also can remove second cleanser once more.The electrode of the optimization that obtains must be continued to handle in anhydrous atmosphere certainly, so that its characteristic is not by absorbing water and its part OH -And H +And variation once more.
The solvent that also can be used as in principle, scavenging solution for the electrolyte that each battery provided.Especially advantageously, with electrolyte suitable purification salt is introduced in the battery.Because by carry out the compound (for example HF and HCL) that ion-exchange forms with the proton that is comprised in inserting electrode is volatile,, wherein can quicken leakage by adopting negative pressure (finding time) so himself can leak.In this case, scavenging solution needn't be removed from battery, but stays in the battery as electrolyte, wherein purifies positive role that remainder that salt stays has other (except separate out H from electrode +Outside the ion).
In principle, both can also can utilize cleanser to handle electrode at inside battery at outside batteries.Under the situation of dual stage process, can especially advantageously carry out for the first method stage at outside batteries and (remove OH -Ion), the electrode that the part of packing in battery is then optimized, and in battery, carry out second cleansing phase (separating out the H+ ion).
The present invention the 3rd main aspect relates to the filling of battery electrolytic solution.The method and apparatus that is used to fill electrochemical cell has been described in DE 19911800C1, its for example should be used to solve with based on SO 2The relevant specific question of electrolyte.This electrolyte is the salt of solvation, its solvent (SO 2) when room temperature, be gaseous state.In order to overcome relevant with it specific question, advise a kind of complicated apparatus, its middle sleeve must pass battery inlet airtightly and be introduced to electrode and pile up.Thus, exist following dangerously, promptly the tube ends lesion electrode piles up and causes internal short-circuit.In addition, the conducting salt that can be easily be separated out by crystallization of this thin sleeve pipe stops up.In order to fill, battery is evacuated, and after conversion valve, electrolyte is inhaled in the battery.At this, big pressure reduction is disadvantageous between electrolyte and the inside battery.During beginning, solvent (SO 2) from electrolyte, be evaporated.Thus, the danger that danger that the conducting salt crystallization separates out and filling device are stopped up increases.
In contrast, in the scope of the invention, advise a kind of simpler method, it preferably is used in conjunction with two other main aspects, but also can have independent meaning.At this, the injection of electrolyte comprises step by step following:
The inner room of-shell gaseous state SO 2Fill;
The inlet of-shell is connected on the container airtightly, and this container comprises and has a part of SO 2Electrolyte, wherein so limit described a part of SO 2, make gaseous state SO 2Promptly be dissolved in the electrolyte; With
-by driving, electrolyte is flowed in the shell by the negative pressure that course of dissolution caused.
Also to provide more detailed description below based on accompanying drawing.This method can make battery use based on SO simply 2Electrolyte fill up fully.
According to the 4th main aspect, the present invention handles a problem, and this problem is drawn by following, promptly especially has based on SO 2Electrolytical battery in, when battery is charged for the first time, on negative electrode, form cover layer based on the electrochemistry situation.Determine that in the scope of the invention reason that the discharge capacity of battery significantly reduces is that this cover layer forms, and can be by realizing relevant therewith optimization the needed reactive metal of formation cover layer is transferred to one of electrode from replenishing one's stock, wherein
-replenishing one's stock contacts with electrolyte,
-auxiliary electrode contacts with the electrolyte conduction,
-at auxiliary electrode and should transfer to reactive metal set up between the electrode on it that electric line connects and
-transfer at auxiliary electrode with reactive metal to flow between the electrode on it by electric current and cause the transfer of reactive metal.
Under situation about being without loss of generality, be that alkali-metal battery is described this main aspect also below according to its reactive metal.At this, cover layer is by alkali metal dithionite (A 2S 2O 4) form, also promptly under the situation of lithium battery by Li 2S 2O 4Form.Form cover layer based on electrochemical conditions, wherein can followingly describe described electrochemical conditions simply, promptly at voltage (under the situation of Li battery to Li/Li +Since 3 volts) tectal reaction just taken place to cause forming when being lower than the normal working voltage of battery.Therefore, thus metallic alkali metal be stored on the negative electrode or be stored in the negative electrode and rechargeable battery before, at first preferably form dithionite.
Be used to form Li 2S 2O 4(also exemplary described here) lithium at otheralkali metal usually from positive electrode.This causes, and when first charging cycle, the part to the necessary lithium of battery capacity is consumed originally.If the active material of negative electrode is a porous extremely, and therefore has big inner surface, then this problem especially severe.Produce corresponding big coverage rate thus, and in charging process at first, be consumed, to form cover layer in the major part (for example about 25%) of the lithium that begins in positive electrode, to be comprised before the charging process.If negative electrode is mainly based on the insertion electrode of graphite, then this problem especially exists.
The difference of the different forms of implementation of the 4th main aspect just is source, the employed auxiliary electrode of the reactive metal that adds and is the electrode that the diverts the aim aspects such as (hereinafter being " target electrode ") of additional activity metal.
Replenishing one's stock of reactive metal especially can be used in the following flexible program, and described flexible program also can be used in principle with being bonded to each other:
-can be used as pure (also promptly non-chemically chemical combination) metal (preferably by immersing) reactive metal is contacted with electrolyte.
-can the container outside battery case in or in battery self, prepare the electrolyte of additional quantity.Under former instance, additional electrolyte is connected with electrolyte in the battery via (can realize ion carry) electrolyte bridge.
-additional reactive metal can with suitable compound, under the situation of alkali metal A preferably as its dithionite A 2S 2O 4Form be used.
In principle, auxiliary electrode can be made of conducting element, and this conducting element is together with the necessary parts of operation battery are immersed in the electrolyte.Yet, preferably the shell of battery self, at least one current-carrying part of its inwall is used as auxiliary electrode or rather.If the source of additional metal is a metallicity conduction, then this is derived from body and also can constitutes auxiliary electrode.
Target electrode both can be the negative electrode of battery, also can be positive electrode.
-should be after injecting electrolyte, but the transfer of reactive metal from the negative electrode that replenishes one's stock took place before battery is charged for the first time, and continue always, heretofore on the surface of electrode with approximately when battery is charged normal identical amount formation cover layer (metallicity alkali metal be stored on the negative electrode or before in negative electrode) till.
-under the situation of positive electrode, relate to by alkali-metal accessory supplied and compensate the loss that the result occurred that in positive electrode, forms in front the charging process as cover layer.In this case, after injecting electrolyte, by battery charge is formed cover layer on negative electrode, wherein this charging process should preferably be proceeded always, thus up to metallicity alkali metal be stored on the negative electrode or in negative electrode and rechargeable battery till.After this, to positive electrode supply reactive metal, thus and the compensation alkali metal of in charging process, being separated out.
